The new Island Rum is now beta testing!
In order to participate, you're going to need to download the Beta for your platform:
MacWindowsLinuxPlease post any results to this thread. The beta will continue until all high-priority issues are fixed.
What was fixed in the beta:
- Island Rum now handles its list of mirrors better.
- (Mac only) The "detect GPU" method of Wineskin is now switched off at first CoH launch, it was causing the app not to launch on Mac Minis.
- HTTP request identity now conforms to specs.
- UI partially re-done.
- New Open dialog is easier to use.
- IR is better at figuring out where your CoH application is relative to the folder you chose.
- Errors while self-updating are handled better now.
- If Island Rum encounters an unrecoverable error while self-updating (i.e. if the update site is down) it will continue on with the manifest/patching/etc.
- Error handling for manifests is greatly improved now.
- If Island Rum cannot reach the manifest for some reason, it will use a cached copy.
- Known issue: Changing the manifest to one that is inaccessible will cause the wrong cached manifest to be fetched - it can only do one at a time.
- There is a new option for Island Rum to auto-quit after launching the game. It does not do so by default.
Outstanding issues:
- Web browser plugin removed. First it was causing problems with Windows, then crashing IR for Mac and preventing Linux builds.
-
The current fixes don't yet address graphics problems reported in High Sierra, except by accident maybe. These turned out to be with Cider.
